Eversheds Sutherland is shutting down its Beijing office, not due to a widespread exodus of U.S. firms, but because its managing partner is moving to another firm.
Jay Ze, the sole remaining partner at Eversheds' Beijing office, is transitioning to Stephenson Harwood in Hong Kong, focusing on cross-border M&A.
Eversheds remains optimistic about its Asian presence, planning to submit a formal application for a branded office in Singapore, indicating ongoing regional commitment.
Despite closing the Beijing office, Eversheds plans to maintain strategic offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai, as they are considered critical to its Asia strategy.
